The Programme

So what are we actually going to do at SkipNorth 2010?

The actual timetable has not yet been confirmed but it will be the usual mixture if classes, shopping, swaps, mayhem, cake and fun.

We don't want to but we reserve the right to change the programme below in case of weather, disaster, illness, acts of god, or if anything else unavoidable happens.

The timetable so far is PROVISIONAL AND UNCONFIRMED!
